8 miles: 2 days!

These last couple of days have been running days for me. My cousin, I believe, has pretty much quit running. It's like pulling teeth with her. But I understand her dilemma. She's a single mother dealing with two kids who both have extra-curricular activites. My godson is in pee-wee football and "the daughter" is a very social and active cheerleader. So my cousin is the shuttle bus driver who deals with that and busts her ass in a full time job.

So I understand her lack of enthusiasm with running. I still love her though and I'll help her out as much as I can.

So back to my last two runs:

Wednesday I had already decided to run at least two miles. When I got to the parking lot about a mile and a half in, I said screw it, might as well go all the way to the bridge to make it a total 4 miles. I bogged down on the way back. I fought to finish the run.

Yesterday was a wbole different experience. I had a seminar where we pretty much had only continental breakfast type food. So I NEEDED to go for a run.

So off I went . . . off for another 4 miles. I wanted to push for 4. And it was an excellent 4 miles! I felt good enough after and there was no real foot pain after. Looking forward to Sunday Long run.
